Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I don't envision laziness, and nor have I ever experienced it to be inactivity!. Laziness is the avoidance of something that needs to be done in an attempt to either remain comfortable or continue whatever it is that you were already doing, simply because you are either more interested in it, consider it to be more important (or it matters more to you), or dread doing whatever it is that needs to be done!. Laziness in and of itself is a very ambiguous word that could have many meanings, or at least consists of a lot of layers!.

We avoid doing things for many reasons; depression, lack of energy, sickness, fear, lack of desire for the task, etc!. With a deeper analysis, one may consider that they wish to finish whatever it is they are doing before they start the next task!. They simply cannot put it on hold!. One may have an aversion to physical or mental labor; yet even this type of aversion has its reasons!. I believe it is never enough just to call someone lazy!.

All in all, I think laziness is a cover word for a person who is not being honest with themselves, or other people who cannot see something for what it is!. A person may think they value a degree, yet never do or finish their school-work!. Of course the knowledge is attained through sheer interest, listening, and reading, but the work needs to be done nevertheless to attain the degree!. Yet this same "lazy" person may go out of their way to win a video game, write their own book, paint a portrait, etc!. Something to think about!. Perhaps laziness has more psychological depth than we think!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, it's because mostly anything gets more boring the more it's repetitively done!. If you started being productive, you would eventually get bored of that too!. Everything gets old after awhile, sadly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

We, as humans, have a desire to have something to fill our time!. Otherwise, what are we doing here!? We define ourselves thru action; it's our interface with our environment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think either of these things are related!. They just happened to occur closely for you!. It doesn't mean that they are related!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
